Another Take: What The Sales Multiple Is Saying

The fair value narrative suggests Opendoor is about 25.5% overvalued at $5.44 per share, but the simple sales multiple points to a different perspective. At around 1.2x P/S, Opendoor sits below peers at 1.5x and the broader US real estate group at 2.6x, while still trading above its fair ratio of 0.6x. This mix indicates both valuation risk and potential opportunity depending on whether you think the market may move closer to peers or back toward the fair ratio, so which side of that trade do you consider more plausible?
